Have to ask if anyone has tried these head lights and are they any good? They look fantastic and would love to update my truck with these and the Yukon tail lights someone posted.

The fear is the low beam projector turning the light in to a ball of turd and being worse than stock. But they look so cool.
I think if you decided to get those led aftermarket headlights and tail lights, you must get vanquishauto leds or hids for the headlights, because those are aftermarket headlights you will be 99% getting nice look instead of performance -> light output, good use of light, you will not get that with aftermarket ebay headlights. Many of us have tried aftermarket headlights in the past and in my experience (opinion) i will not do that anymore, its better if you keep your oem headlights and transform them to a good quality hids or led headlights kit and that way you will get the best lighting ever.

Not necessarily, had these headlight and $53 Auxbeam gold bulbs from Amazon. Drove in the dark for 5 hours from PA to MA and I couldn't be more pleased with the way they lit up the road. Light was almost as good as my Regal GS with factory projectors and HID bulbs

Hey Pawel could you get a night shot of your cut off on a wall like 25 feet away from the drivers seat. Still haven't pulled the trigger yet because I had to replace some exhaust parts that went south on me. Flex pipes are retarded.

Ok guys, not to muddy up the waters but VipMotoz/eBay now offers these DRL housings with HID's preinstalled. With that being said, I'd have to assume HID bulbs will/do work in these housings. I'd find it hard to believe that they'd redesign anything special to accept HID's as that just drives up the cost. Tempting as they offer a 60 day no hassle return if your not happy.


I bought the Phillips low beam LED's for my OEM housings but after allot of looking at the fitment issue, I'm not quite ready to hole saw the core support to make room for these even as they come highly recommended for staying cool without a fan. So the jury is still out on what option to take, buy the new HID equipped housings and give them a try or just upgrade to a top of the line replacement bulb for the stock housings.......and yes, we all know oh to we'll STOCK SUCKS, but sometimes it's just had to have your cake and eat it too........

I got these back on again. Looks like most of my issues were due to the connection between factory harness and the aftermarket housing. I put in silverstar ultras (h7 bulb in these), and I gotta say this is the best output by far - about the same as oem. The leds were bright, but didnt focus the beam on the road enough. I was gonna convert to mini hids but this is good enough. Im really happy now as the tubes look so damn sweet lit up at night...

I will go with Vanquish Auto hids. They have the right setup for each vehicle and really good hid system. Many members from this forum has been using their lights and everyone is happy including myself.
